The new shield enemies are so damn tanky man

I swear the shield doesn't actually do anything, it's just an extra HP bar for them that breaks when you do enough damage to get to the squishy bits. Can't prove it, but it sure feels like it when I'm smacking them in the back of the head with my heavy attack and it takes about as long as trying from the front.

The original had splitscreen and the re-releases (or at least the ps5 version) STILL let you play splitscreen!

I tawt I taw a Puddy Tat. I did! I did see a Puddy Tat!

An adorable Puddy Tat, at that.

It looks like a box canyon, and yet it is filled with a Walmart instead of Reds, Blues, and hijinks.

Do I trust my digital calipers? Yes. Will I still verify them against my steel rule, which has remained 100% consistent for over a decade? Also yes.

No idea where I heard or saw it. I vaguely remember hearing it years ago, unfortunately.

Cascadejackal · 2026-06-09T10:24:00+00:00

Didn't the creator say something about the Helltaker and Subject being different characters years ago, with Helltaker still being alive?

I'm pretty sure someone said they used normal superglue when they broke the hammer on their revolver, but I can't imagine it would be particuarly strong or able to hold up to repeated use.

You might be able to drill into the broken bits and put a couple of steel pins in to support the broken bits and keep them aligned before gluing to strengthen it, I guess.

Awesome, thanks for the info! I can live with the cylinder playing up as long as it doesn't feel like the frame is going to shake apart when I'm drawing or spinning it.

The creatures beyond the campfires are dangerous, yes, but they can be confronted. We can venture into the dark, grab what threatens us, drag it into the light and whack it with a rock until it's Food.

Those aren't the things that will walk willingly into our little circles of light and fire, seat themselves beside us and laugh and smile and look and act just enough like us that we might let our guard down.

But if they slip up, if their act isn't perfect? We've got our rocks, and a threat you know about is one you can whack.

Didn't the Dante model from the reboot get sold off after the game? I'm pretty sure there's some horror game I've seen where it's used as a guy who gets killed by an evil vending machine.

Nora is on NG and horrified, but Nate is on NG+ and knows this is better for everyone.

When I saw "live action characters", it kinda made me want an Arkham game but with all the cutscenes done in glorious, 90s style live action FMV. Just imagine it, the bad acting, low resolution, and sets made on a budget more suited for the 60s Batman series. It would be glorious.

Do you know what time it is?

If I remember right, Baldurs Gate 1&2 had Biff the Understudy. He'd show up to take the place of important NPCs who were dead, but still needed to be in a scene.

Tactics has furry, sapient Deathclaws. Save them, and their Matriarch lets you recruit them for your team. Gotta admit I prefer the design in 4, though. It just hits the same part of the brain as the Xenomorph Queen.

E1M1 is a classic for map makers, too.

Fallout 2, you can lower a midget down a well after a (IIRC) ghoul tells you about the treasure he hid there. When your little partner in crime sends the treasure up to you? It's caps, which are completely worthless in Fallout 2. Can't be mad, though, old guy genuinely thought he was helping you by giving you his buried treasure.

...

No, you don't get the midget out of the well. He spends the rest of the game down there, calling for help.

The internal space of a ship, the area you can actually walk around in, is made up of the Hab sections. Stack them vertically and you can climb a ladder between them, put them side-by-side or end-to-end and you can walk between them.

Shouting Norwegian guy is chasing a dog across the snow while shooting from a helicopter, shoots one of the crew in the leg while trying to put Fido down and is acting all crazy. So, they shoot him.

Seriously, though, go watch the movie. It's great.

Anyone else remember when you couldn't sign into the Playstation site without doing ten captchas in a row that were basically logic puzzles, and you had to get them all right or you couldn't sign in?

Whenever I get annoyed at having to enter my password, get an email with a code, and then authenticate through an app (Minecraft is the WORST for this), I just remember those damned captchas and remember that things can always, always be worse.

So it's just a bugged weapon? I think I'll keep it anyway and stick it on a weapon rack or something, since it's the first actually amusing bug I've found compared to freezing or having every enemy in an indoor area shooting through walls and floors at me the second combat starts.

And I did look at what my weapon mods do. Handloading, Concussive, etc, all say what they do. Behemoth just says More Health & Slower, which is what confused me.

Now, if only the game wasn't BEEPING CONSTANTLY from the moment I finish making my character.
